The three of them turned pale and looked at him.

Jill was shocked. He picked up the letter and opened it. It was indeed a resignation letter. It turnedout that Norman came back tonight to deliver the resignation letter.

Jill had never expected to receive such a resignation letter. He was completely stunned and lookedat Alex in a daze.

Alex didn’t expect Norman to resign either. In their plan, he would be promoted after the new yearand be on the same level as Jill. In the future, he would take over Alex’s position,

Jill had always been calm and rational “Why?” He had to know the reason.

“Nonman Jill turned his head. Is it because of Lorenzo?”

“Of course not.” Norman answered. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed in the Patton family andbeen nurtured and arranged by Jill and Alex.

“I’m not interested in the position. Grandpa, you’re still healthy. You won’t retire for the time being.When you retire, Dad can take over your position. I’m not a must to you And I have something Iparticularly want to do” With that, he saluted them smartly and turned to leave.

“Norman, where are you going? Come back!” Jill called out a few times. The only response he gotwas the sound of the car driving away. “Dad, how can I. Jill was helpless.

Alex gave him a plaintive look and said, “Now look what you’ve done?

Alex had experienced too many wars and life–and–death situations in his life. He especiallyyearned for the joy of family

He thought, ‘It wasn’t easy for Norman to come and have a meal with me, and Lorenzo also came.In the end, as soon as he entered, he turned around and left. How heavy is his resentment

My good grandson, Norman, whom I had painstakingly nurtured for more than twenty years, hadresigned

This feeling was like grooming the heir of his family. When it was his turn to do it, he suddenly quit.How could he not be angry!

“Dad… Don’t look at me like that. Im a victim too Jill said.

Back then, he was completely used and passive towards the grudge between Norman’s mother andLorenzo’s mother,

Alex was speechless. Alright, not only my grandsons, but my son still needs my protection; hethought.

Alex looked at Dylan, Jill also looked at him.

Dylan silently lowered his head and continued to eat.

“Norman was joking. He would come back. I would never say such words, Dylan thought.

Norman and Lorenzo were like Alex, they all wouldn’t change their minds easily.

Alex and Jill were speechless.

Norman drove out of the old residence and called Alfred. “Christian must have gone to KentsideGarden to beg Blake to save Lea. Alfred, what the hell is going on?”

Christian’s reaction nude Norman suspect that the situation had gotten out of control.

“It’s not convenient to talk on the phone. I’m going to Kentside Garden now,” Alfred answered onthe phone.

After hanging up, Norman turned the steering wheel and headed towards Kentside Garden,

It was almost ten o’clock in the evening. The lights in Kentside Garden were brightly lit and it was aglorious sight.

were dark and cold.

The black car stopped under the marble wall far away from the door. Alfred sat silently in the car.His eyes w When he received the call from Norman, he sped over and saw Christian’s car drive in.It had been a while. A black Mercedes–Benz slowly drove over and stopped at the back. Normangot out of the car, came forward, opened the door, and got in.

Sensing the cold atmosphere inside, he couldn’t help but tug at the lapels of his jacket.

“There won’t be any accidents, right?” Norman was asking about Lea.

Alfred nodded. His eyes were resolute. He thought. Even if the sky collapses, I have to ensure thatLea is unharmed.

Only then did Norman nod in relief. “I’ve already handed in my resignation letter to my father. I’ll beleaving the country soon.”

“If you need anything, just contact Eddie. He will arrange it,” Alfred said.

“Okay”

The two of them exchanged a few words. Norman sat in the car for a while before leaving. This wasthe farewell between the two.

Alfred then drove into Kentside Garden.

In the hall, Christian and Blake had been talking for a while. Milton was also there.

“Blake, no matter what, please arrange for Lea to enter a project and save her life. I’m beggingyou.” Christian said.

Previously, because Blake did not agree with Alfred and Lea’s relationship, Christian looked downon him. But now, Christian was begging him withou

any dignity.

Blake could not bear to see him like this

“Christian, don’t be like this. How can I watch Leadier Blake said.

He did not expect things to develop to this point, but he also knew that Lea would not die. This wasnot the original intention behind it.

“So you agree!” Christian asked.

Blake hesitated

“Christian,” Milion interrupted them and said, “I’ve arranged everything. As long as Lea agrees, Ican bring her out and take good care of her for the rest of her life. Let her be free and happy.”

Christian turned around and looked at Milton in a daze. At this moment, the only thing he thoughtabout was that Lea could live. Leuing her be free and happy was his best wish. But he quicklyrealized the conditions for doing so.

Without waiting for him to ask the question in his heart, Milton said directly, “Christian, go andpersuade Lea, I’m ready to pick her up at any time.” Mikon didn’t even let him ask if he had alreadymet Lea Milton couldn’t let him know that Lea had already rejected him.

“Oh, okay. Then I’ll try Christian said.

Things were already much better than what he had hoped for. He had nothing else to ask, eventhough he knew Milton’s intentions.

However, he had to pay a price for letting Lea live.

“Then I’ll go see Lea first Christian said.

“Christian, I’ll send you off, Milton said and looked at Blake. Their eyes met. Blake did not stop him,nor could he

Blake knew Milton’s personality very well. In a way, Blake was the one who made Milton like this.

Since Milion wanted Lea so badly, so be it. He devoted so much to the Andrews Group butultimately had to hand over the group to another successor. This can be considered ascompensation for him, Blake thought

Milton had just helped Christian to the door when he bumped into Alfred.

Under the dim corridor lights, Alfred was wearing a black silk shirt with an oppressive aura.

Seeing that Christian was about to leave, Alfred said, “Grandpa Christian, I’ll send you

When Blake heard the word “grandpa“, he gritted his teeth.

Alfred was announcing his relationship with Lea. At this point, he thought that Lea was still hisgirlfriend, the woman he was going to marry in the future

“Alfred is simply bewitched! Blake thought.

Christian looked at him with red eyes and a complicated and disappointed expression.

In the past month, Alfred had not done anything other than take care of Christian. Lea was alreadyon the verge of death. The so–called relationship between them was no longer worth mentioning.

With Blake’s request, there was nothing Alfred could do.

*No need. Milton will send me to meet Lea. Christian rejected him.

Alfred’s hand that was about to help Christian froze in midair. He felt disappointed and complicated.Then, he looked up at

Milton

Milton looked straight at him. The challenge and ambition in his eyes were undisguised.

To Alfred and Lea, Milton had never hidden his desires.

This was a decisive battle. This time, Milton had won
